Career

After being one of the top finalists in a local model search, Jane began working as a model for retail outlets such as 5-7-9 and David's Bridal. This work gained her a job doing a television commercial for Hooters restaurant. She also entered Hawaiian Tropic beauty contests, one of which led to her winning a walk-on role in the 2003 made for television movie Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding. In August 2002, she was named "Miss Photogenic" by the American Dreams Pageant, and shot commercials for the pageant's sponsors. She embarked on a career as a top bikini model, although she did have a desire to perform in pornography. Jane read an article on Tera Patrick which said that Patrick worked for adult-film production company Digital Playground. She contacted them and was quickly signed to a contract. Her first scene was with Devon in the film No Limits. Within months of winning the contract, she appeared on Showtime Network's Family Business, where she was filmed at the Adult Video News' awards show and convention. In 2004, Jane appeared in the first WMV-HD-DVD porn movie Island Fever 3, filmed on Tahiti and Bora Bora. This title was also one of the first HD DVD porn movies in 2007.

On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno during a 2005 "Jay Walking" segment, she gave her name as "Cindy", and said that she currently worked at Hooters. An adult magazine cover featuring her as Jesse Jane was then shown onscreen. In 2005, she was featured as UnRated Magazine's Vixen, to launch the favorable music review magazine's new edition of Vixens. The films in which Digital Playground cast Jane, such as No Limits, Beat the Devil, and Loaded, proved popular enough to warrant her own line of sex toys, as well as secure nominations for several awards. She starred in the erotic film series "Pirates". Jane co-hosts (with fellow Digital Playground contract performers Devon and Teagan Presley) the live, Internet-based, adult industry talk show DP Tonight. The show features industry gossip, adult film star guests and audience/host interactivity. Jane was a guest star on the HBO comedy series Entourage.

In addition, Jane also hosts Playboy TV's Naughty Amateur Home Videos and is the sex columnist for Cheri, with contributions starting in the January 2007 issue. In January 2007, an article in the New York Times stated that Jane intended to have her breast enhancement surgery re-done in an effort to enhance their appearance for high-definition movies. On her official website, she wrote that on 12 February she had her surgery. Jane has been linked romantically to Kid Rock and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee as well as former singer of Drowning Pool Jason Jones.
